TO ALL WH-OM IT MAY CONCERN: v

Be it known that I, JosEPE G3 HARRISON, ofthe city',y county, and Stateoi` New York, have in'vented a new and useful Soap-Cup for wash-tubnse;A and Ido hereby declare that the following Lis afull, clear, and .exact` descriptionv thereof, reference being made to the accompanying drawing, through letters of `reference marked 'thereon, forming part of this specification, and in-which- I Figure 1 represents a plan or top view of the soap-cup, and i Figure 2 a v,section taken on the linea: :c of iig. 1.

The object of my invention is to furnish 4a. cheap, durable, 'and convenient 'article for suspension on the side of a wash-tub, and that may be equally convenient for use on a table or stand, and it consists of a cup, of

'cast iron or Aother suitable metal, of any convenient shape, and` having onesule curved inward1y,-to correspond, or thereabouts, with the curve of the exterior of i the wash-tub, and provided with one or more hooksfor suspending it on theside thereof.

To enable others to make and use my invention, I willr describe its eonstructipn aud application, by refer'- I ring' to the drawing, in which the same letters occurring on both figures indicate like parts.

The cup A is made of suitable size to hold a convenient lump .of soap, and about one inch in depth, more or less, the bottom of which is made at, so that it will sit steadily on a table, and one portion, B, of its peripheryis curved inwardly to correspond, or thereabouts, with the curve ofthe circumference of the wash-tub.

In this curved portion are formed one or more swells, e, in the casting, which are afterwards drilled, and ashort rod of stout wire, say, about three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, and four and a half or ve inches long, is

screwed into each swell, or these rods may be inserted-in the mould, and the cup cast on to them; they arethen` bent, at about their mid-length, forming a hook or hooks, D, of such spreadas will span the thickxiessof an ordinary tub, and by which the cup may be suspended, on the outside thereof, ,near the top.

In the bottom of this cup I form two or more ribs, d, which a're cast solid with the' cup, and of suitable height to support the soap and prevent it from dissolving away in the water that drains from it into the cup; the whole forming a cheap, serviceable, and convenient'a-rtiele for family use.

` Having thus described my invention, I do not claim broadly a soap-cup for suspension on the edge of a wash-tub; but Y y What I claim, and desire to secure byIietter-s Patent, is-I A new' article of manufacture, consisting oi" the cast-metal soap-cup A, constructed with a hollow lcurved l .side, 13, a hook or hooks, D, and ribs d, substantially as shown and described.
